Detroit man found living with woman's corpse in trailer

REDFORD TWP. (AP) -- Police say a 64-year-old suburban Detroit man has been jailed after living several months in a trailer home with a woman's corpse.

Dennis McCauley was arraigned Friday for failing to report a death, mutilation of a corpse, identity theft and other charges.

McCauley was arrested Monday at Long's Mobile Home Court in Wayne County's Redford Township, west of Detroit.

Police Sgt. Kevin Crittenden says a court officer saw a woman's remains on a sofa after going to the trailer to serve an eviction notice. The woman is identified as 72-year-old Ann Marquis, who is believed to have died in November. Preliminary autopsy results reveal she died of natural causes.
